With Bay View Resort being located right off the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, you are able to get to so many great attractions, restaurants, shopping and events.  But, if you are in the mood to wonder off the beaten path and find some other hot spots in Myrtle Beach, we have put together a list for you to try.

Consider these when planning your next outing in Myrtle Beach:

House of Blues — The premier live-music venue at North Myrtle Beach shopping/dining/entertainment hot spot Barefoot Landing, this Mississippi Delta juke-joint inspired music hall hosts a regular schedule of national touring acts. The 59,000-square-foot venue sets the mood with a unique collection of contemporary folk art decorating its spaces, and when all that rocking gets you and your crew hungry, Southern staples such as Shrimp & Grits, Jambalaya and Baby Back Ribs can be found on the dining menu. The HoB’s summer 2018 concert lineup includes Collective Soul, Biz Markie, Yacht Rock Revue, Jimmy Eat World, Drive-By Truckers and more. Local acts are also regularly featured on the venue’s outdoor deck. For more info, visit houseofblues.com.

Bourbon Street — Located next to Pine Lakes Country Club in Myrtle Beach, this North Kings Highway bar & grill/music venue is a favorite among music-loving locals. Offering a smoke-free atmosphere and serving a menu of sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas and appetizers until late in the evening, Bourbon Street offers a summer lineup that includes acts such as The Travelin’ Kine, the Brad Long Band and Little Bird.
